Animation-list not working - shows only the first element

Question

Problem: Shows only the first element in the animation-list.

Animation list drawable file in res/drawable:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<animation-list xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:oneshot="false" >

  <item
    android:drawable="@drawable/k2si"
    android:duration="1000"/>
  <item
    android:drawable="@drawable/android"
    android:duration="1000"/>

</animation-list>

Starting the animation:

    ImageView image = (ImageView) findViewById(R.id.imageView1);
    image.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.screensaver_image);
    ((AnimationDrawable) image.getBackground()).start();

Documentation (scroll to Frame animation)

where are you calling the start() method from. If it is in the onCreate of your activity it won't work. — MikeIsrael, Jan 04 '12 at 11:44
@Mike - yes it is in `onCreate()`. What is the correct life cycle method to call out the start? — Indrek Kõue, Jan 04 '12 at 11:47
Answering my own question: `onWindowFocusChanged()` is the correct method to call out `start()` — Indrek Kõue, Jan 04 '12 at 11:54

You can achieve same thing from layout xml itself,

just mentioned android:src="@drawable/rode_anim" which is nothing but your custom animation-list drawable.
